A Pennsylvania woman turned down a man’s romantic advances and minutes later, her home turned into a death trap. According to People, the accused, Robert Zimmerman, 40, now faces charges after allegedly setting the house ablaze following the rejection. The fire, which police confirmed was arson, killed one resident and left two others with life-threatening injuries.
The blaze erupted at a Lewistown home just before midnight on May 6. Emergency crews arrived at 11:55 PM to find flames engulfing the property, with witnesses screaming that people were still trapped inside. One man suffered severe facial injuries after leaping from a second-story window to escape the smoke and fire. A woman, later found unconscious on the concrete below, had passed out from smoke inhalation before falling.
